Save the Coral Reefs
Save Ourselves
- Coral is one of the earth’s oldest living species—over 500 million years old.
- Coral serves as coastline-protecting wave breakers, reducing flooding.
- Over 1 billion people rely on the reefs for food and income; it’s valued at $29 billion annually worldwide in value.
- The reefs have the most biodiversity of any zone on earth.
- They are gorgeous and mysterious, a favorite place to visit for many tourists.
- They are a source of antiviral and anti-cancer medicines.
- And yet, humans destroy them: warming oceans cause bleaching events and die-offs due to acidification from excess CO2, damage by tourists and ships, and fishermen using dynamite and cyanide to fish add to the problem.
How we save the Reefs
- Work with leading marine biologists specializing in coral restoration.
- Repopulate the reefs by marrying hardier coral species with our 3d-printed coral modules.
- We 3d-print coral replacement modules, using only sand & our natural binding chemistry.
- We can print on site using local sand and matching ocean floor topography and local species morphology.
- Cure time reached within 24 hours.
